The reason I feel negative equity would be 'cash out' is the same way as I would consider loaning them more to payout that same 'negative equity' remaining on a loan, or paying off any other loan within that transaction as being 'cash out'. That makes more sense to me than considering negative equity as a term of the purchase.

Yeah...the dealer will often include it simply to make the sale work...but it's not a 'part of' the purchase...it's more of a 'negative concession' of sorts. Now, there could be a loophole in there if there is not a huge [obvious] negative equity and the dealer 'agrees' to just add it to the price and pays the lender off after the deal is done.\ Unless they put forth strict disclosure/accounting/itemization rules out there on non-banks then "where there is a will there will end up a way" will be happening.

Just curious. When would this ever be okay? [or is it maybe because of overdraft LOC's?] Why wouldn't it typically always be prohibited by Federal Law (Reg E)?
Require an electronic fund transfer to repay a consumer credit transaction, unless otherwise prohibited by law;

Sorry for my ignorance, but would someone please define the term "negative equity?" This is a new term for me.

Your liability exceeds the value of the asset. I'm trading in a car worth $3,000 but I owe $4,000. I have $1,000 in negative equity that has to be paid from somewhere. Rolling it into the new car loan is one option.

I'll never talk management into giving up right of setoff for everybody. They're already having ducks about it for the military folks. Wait! I thought that we still have setoff rights? Where are you reading that?

Unless something changed, I can tell you that WK has made NUMEROUS changes to the deposit side of things due to this...so I'm thinking we don't have rights...I even saw something about partnership accounts affected...but haven't had a change to dive into all of that. yet..

Where are you reading that? Well, if you look farther up in this thread you'll see that I thought the Q&A said we could still have setoff, but John said he did not. I sent it to bank counsel and have not yet heard back, but D+H (LaserPro) are taking the stance that we do not. They've written in suppression for setoff language on all MLA covered loans.

Couple of things: 1. Ah! I thought we could use setoff, too. 2. I've never been called too fast before! 3. My boss just asked if I knew if we are planning on sending "the notices to all customers." Can anyone enlighten me? I really hated saying "What notices?"

Corny - I don't remember ever hearing about "sending out notices to all customers". I hope your boss dreamed that part. Anyone?

Turns out this came from the vendor that is selling us new deposit docs so that we are "in compliance and avoiding lawsuits." They want to do an update for deposit recon (that we are good on already) something about UDAAP and MLA compliance. His questions was whether or not we were doing the update and whether or not we were disclosing to all depositors - - so that everyone has the same account agreement.

In regards to Q&A #10:
“ The provision permits a creditor to use its own method to assess covered borrower status, and it provides a safe harbor to a creditor that employs either of two available methods: Using information obtained directly or indirectly from the DMDC database; or obtaining a consumer report from a nationwide consumer reporting agency (or a reseller of the same) containing a statement, code, or similar indicator describing that status. To benefit from the safe harbor provision, a creditor must determine a consumer’s covered borrower status at or before the time of the transaction or the time an account is established and make a record of the determination. Section 232.5(b)(2)(B) prohibits a creditor from accessing the DMDC database after the time a consumer entered into a transaction or established an account for a specific purpose, namely ‘‘to ascertain whether a consumer had been a covered borrower as of the date of that transaction or as of the date that account was established.’’
Does this give us safe harbor, if we check the data base prior to the loan “account†being established, ie loan consummation, rather than the initial language of date of application or 30 days prior?

I think it does. But this was NOT the opinion of the presenter of an MLA webinar I listened to.

I have listened to two MLA Webinars and that was not their opinion either, which is what makes me concerned. Thanks Swiggles.

Is anybody aware of a prohibition against checking military status periodically on credit cards and ODLOCs after the determination has been made that we've got a covered borrower? We're checking upfront on new accounts using Transunion to correctly ID covered borrowers on new accounts. We know we have a lot of covered borrowers (military bank) - I was just asked how we identify covered borrowers after the fact with 100% certainty.
The way I'm reading it, the historic lookback prohibition means we don't have to check our current customer base, but if we want to identify formerly covered borrowers that are no longer subject to MLA and remove MLA coverage from their accounts, is that a problem or is it a case of once covered, always covered?

Pippii, I also read that section to mean that we are not to check our current customer base (MLA will not apply to credit originated prior to 10/2/16 anyway, unless covered by prior rule), but we are also not to check customers after origination to determine whether they were covered at the time of origination. The question about checking later to determine whether a borrower is still covered does not seem to be specifically addressed. It would seem permissible as the examples in 232.2(a)(2) state that "this part" no longer applies to consumers who are no longer covered borrowers (so it's not "once covered, always covered"). The only way to know that for sure and be able to rely on such information is through one of the safe harbor verifications, so I think very clear procedures should be written to address subsequent verifications.

#10 on the interpretive ruling says: "Therefore, the plain language of the regulation does not prohibit a creditor or assignee from accessing the DMDC database for other purposes, such as determining whether a previously covered borrower retains that status."
We plan on checking monthly or quarterly to determine whether they are still covered borrowers for LOC's and (eventually) credit cards.

Other than a contract not containing an arbitration clause, can anyone please provide additional information on compliance with 10 USC 987 on other prohibitions? Thank you so much!
